Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass in the eleventh year,.... Of Jehoiachin's captivity and Zedekiah's reign, the same year that Jerusalem was taken:
in the first day of the month; but what month is not mentioned; some have thought the first month, and so it was the first day of the year; others the fourth, the same in which the city of Jerusalem was taken; but more probably the fifth, the first of which was twenty days after the taking it; in which time the news of it might be brought to Tyre, at which she rejoiced; and for which her destruction is threatened, and here prophesied of:
that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying; as follows:
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Prophecies against Tyre. The siege of Tyre lasted thirteen years beginning 585 b.c., about three years after the capture of Jerusalem. While besieging Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar had driven Pharaoh Hophra back to the borders of Egypt. Tyre being thus relieved from a dangerous enemy, was exulting in her own deliverance, and in her neighbor’s ruin, when Ezekiel predicted the calamity about to befall her. The name Tyre means rock, and was given to the city in consequence of its position. This island-rock was the heart of Tyre, and the town upon the continent - called “Old Tyre,” possibly as having been the temporary position of the first settlers - was the outgrowth of the island city. The scanty records of ancient history give no, distinct evidence of the capture of insular Tyre by Nebuchadnezzar; but the fact is very probable. Compare especially Ezekiel 26:7-12; Ezekiel 29:18. The present state of Tyre is one of utter desolation, though the end was long delayed (compare Isaiah 23:0). Tyre was great and wealthy under Persian, Greek, Roman, and even Muslim masters. The final ruin of Tyre was due to the sultan of Egypt (1291 a.d.).
In the first day of the month - The number of the month being omitted, many suppose “the month” to mean the month when Jerusalem was taken (the rebirth month), called “the month,” as being so well known. The capture of the city is known to have taken place on “the ninth day of the fourth month” and its destruction on “the seventh day of the fifth month.” This prophecy therefore preceded by a few days the capture of the city. The condition of Jerusalem in the latter months of its siege was such that the Tyrians may well have exulted as though it had already fallen.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXVI
This prophecy, beginning here and ending in the twentieth verse
of the twenty-eighth chapter, is a declaration of the judgments
of God against Tyre, a very famous commercial city of
antiquity, which was taken by Nebuchadnezzar after an arduous
siege of thirteen years. The prophet begins with introducing
Tyre insulting Jerusalem, and congratulating herself on the
prospect of accession to her commerce now that this city was no
more, 1, 2.
Upon which God denounces utter destruction to Tyre, and the
cities depending on her, 3-6.
We have then a particular account of the person raised up in
the course of the Divine providence to accomplish this work.
We see, as it were, his mighty hosts, (which are likened to the
waves of the sea for their multitude,) raising the mounds,
setting the engines, and shaking the walls; we hear the noise
of the horsemen, and the sound of their cars; we see the clouds
of smoke and dust; we see the sword bathed in blood, and hear
the groans of the dying. Tyre, (whose buildings were very
splendid and magnificent, and whose walls were one hundred and
fifty feet in height, with a proportionable breadth,)
immediately disappears; her strong (and as she thought
impregnable) towers are thrown down; and her very dust is
buried in the sea. Nothing remains but the bare rock, 7-14.
The scene is then varied. The isles and adjacent regions, by a
very strong and beautiful figure, are represented to be shaken,
as with a mighty earthquake by violent concussion occasioned by
the fall of Tyre. The groans of the dying reach the ears of the
people inhabiting these regions. Their princes, alarmed for
themselves and grieved for Tyre, descend from their thrones,
lay aside their robes, and clothe themselves with-sackcloth?-no,
but with trembling! Arrayed in this astonishing attire, the
prophet introduces them as a chorus of mourners, lamenting Tyre
in a funeral song or dirge, as customary on the death of
renowned personages. And pursuing the same image still farther,
in the person of God, he performs the last sad office for her.
She is brought forth from her place in solemn pomp; the pit is
dug for her; and she is buried, to rise no more, 15-21.
Such is the prophecy concerning Tyre, comprehending both the
city on the continent and that on the island, and most
punctually fulfilled in regard to both. That on the continent
was razed to the ground by Nebuchadnezzar, B.C. 572, and that
on the island by Alexander the Great, B.C. 332. And at present,
and for ages past, this ancient and renowned city, once the
emporium of the world, and by her great naval superiority the
centre of a powerful monarchy, is literally what the prophet
has repeatedly foretold it should be, and what in his time was,
humanly speaking, so highly improbable-a BARE rock, a place to
spread nets on!
NOTES ON CHAP. XXVI
Verse Ezekiel 26:1. The eleventh year — This was the year in which Jerusalem was taken; the eleventh of the captivity of Jeconiah, and the eleventh of the reign of Zedekiah. What month we are not told, though the day is mentioned. There have been many conjectures about this, which are not of sufficient consequence to be detailed.
